Today we’re taking a look at the Vultee XP-54, unofficially nicknamed the Swoose Goose, which was an experimental fighter that was developed at the start of the 1940s. It came from the same US Army specification that led to the development of the equally experimental Bell XP-52, Curtiss XP-55, and Northrop XP-56.

Producing these videos is a hobby of mine - and apparently its now a full-time job too! I have a passion for history, and personally own a large collection of books, journals and other texts, and endeavor to do as much research as possible. However if there are any mistakes, please don't hesitate to reach out and correct anything :)
